Hello, I have a date string looking like the following: "Sun May 30 07:25:17 2010"
With Python 2.6, the %f is supported (it parses the microseconds), so that this statement works: dt = datetime.strptime(s, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%f %Y") However, with Python 2.5, (which is supported on the live Webfaction server I'm using), %f is not supported. Is there a straightforward way to simply ignore the :17 microseconds in the original string? Maybe force it to "00" ? - but without having to actually change the original string by removing the ":17" ? If I simply leave out the ":%f" in the strptime call, I get back a " ValueError: time data did not match format: data=Sun May 30 19:33:54 2010 fmt=%a %b %d %H:%M %Y Hoping for a simple solution that someone is familiar with Thanks Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
